THREADING THE UPPER THREAD |
|
It is important to carry out the threading correctly as by not doing so several sewing problems could result.
Start by raising the needle to its highest point, and also raise the presser foot to release the tension discs. |

Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the spool pin so that the thread comes from the front of the spool, then place the spool cap at the end of the spool pin. |

|
Draw the thread from the spool through the upper thread guide. |

Guide the thread around the thread guide pulling the pre-tension spring as illustrated. |

Now take the thread behind the needle clamp guide and then down to the needle, which should be threaded from the front to the back. Pull out about 10cm (4 inches) of thread to the rear beyond the needle eye. |
